Plans, plans, plans. We're all about those plans. These days, we're working with a fair number of our North Central Texas clients to get ahead of all of the changes to the tax code. Yes, there's a larger standard deduction next year, and that might make sense for you. But I'll tell you what DOESN'T make sense: not taking action … Read More

Some nice news from the oh-so-kind people at the IRS. Shoot, I probably should have told you this sooner, so you could EAT BETTER. The "meals" deduction is back! Per the guidance released earlier this month, we can once again deduct MEALS for business. (Entertainment is still gone.) So keep eating out with those prospects, clients, associates and friends. Do … Read More

Keith AndreBrand Leverage: How to Maximize your North Central Texas Small Business’ Strengths11.02.2018

We just wrapped up all the extension returns for TY2017, and can finally place our gaze SQUARELY at what's ahead. Which is a funny thing to say, because, well … for too many of our clients, we are continuously looking backwards — simply because they haven't worked with us before the year is over, and we aren't able to make … Read More

Firstly, I gotta say — we're past the midpoint of October, and, well … the calendar is speeding up. Sure, looking back from an historical perspective might still enable us to find some deductions. But by the time the end of the year hits, it'll be too late to fix problems like missing the new 20% QBI reduction, lost MERP … Read More

Keith AndreWhat Is The Proper Role Of A North Central Texas Small Business Owner?10.23.2018

You pay your bills on time. You try to save as much as you can. You even follow the advice you read in the books and hear on the radio about how to keep your finances in check. But you're still not getting ahead. Well, sometimes, it's the unchallenged, mental assumptions about how we're handling our money that rise up … Read More

When I sit down with my North Central Texas business owner clients (whether in person or on the phone), we try to look at EVERY aspect of their business, not just their books. And there is often great clarity when we peek at what is *behind* the books (marketing, sales, management, asset management, etc.). The good news for my business … Read More

Our hearts are with the Carolinas, and with the cleanup process that is just beginning over there. With all of the the flooding that is hampering efforts to get in and even evaluate the damage, we know this will be a long road to recovery. The slow onset of these hurricanes is a mixed bag, isn’t it? We prepare for … Read More

You’d think that this would be about golf, since here we are smack in the middle of summer. But I’m here with a word of caution about other kinds of traps, not of the sandy variety. Last week, we spoke about executors, and I’ll return to that subject soon. But today, I thought I’d issue some words of caution about … Read More

How is your summer rolling along for you? I’d love it if you sent us an update on what you have been doing … even if it’s just a personal update. (You can send us an email through the link at the top of the page.) We take great joy in knowing that our work is being done on behalf of some … Read More

If you pay close attention to the news media (which I don’t advise, but in our digital world, it can be unavoidable), you might be feeling a weight, almost as if there is a sense of impending doom. I saw a recent survey that indicated that almost one third of respondents felt that we could be headed towards a second civil … Read More
